The end of an era BOOMBOX

Anyone having survived a London fashion week or just a pillar in the nu-rave fashionista community has been to Boombox at one time or another (if not every Sunday!).

Rumour around London is that after a few years and countless fashion weeks Boombox is coming to an end on New Years Eve 2007. The night is often filled with the fabulous, the flamboyant, and the fashionable. Boombox was often a home away from home for Gareth Pugh (and his Agness of course), Kylie Minogue, Jonathan Saunders (I myself had a blast at his SS08 afterparty!), Naomi Campbell, Daisy Lowe, Peaches Geldolf, the list goes on and on.


This will hopefully morph into the next hot night by February just in time for the FW07 aftershows! Hoxton will never be the same.

Carnaby Steet

Carnaby street gained fame during the 1960's "swinging London". In the 1950's it was the grounds for bespoke tailoring with many shops creating suits for Saville Row. Eventually it morphed into an area in London very well known for trendy boutiques and "mod" style and still holds true to this today with many fabulous stores in the area (my personal favourite is Liberty's) Carnaby street was the heart of "swinging london" with its roots in rock and roll!

Introductions

Hello fellow Londoners and fashion lovers,




This is a site dedicated to London Street style. From Shoreditch to Kensington, London style today reflects the city's eclectic and multicultural nature. London itself has strong roots in music, and punk in particular with Miss Vivienne Westwood acting as the Queen of punk. These roots greatly influence the aesthetic of London street style.




The style itself is about individuality, not cookie cutter fashion or "uniforms" often found in some other cities. Individual style is appreciated and not oppressed by ideas of "normality".




Please feel free to send in any interesting street styles or London fashion news, enjoy the pictures and get inspired by amazing London style.
